Hi I am tearing my hair out, just about ready to uninstall as I have been trying to get this working all day...

I have just purchased Magix Movie Edit Pro 2015. No problems wit the install all went smoothly. However when I drag a video file (mp4) filmed with my gopro onto the timeline if I try watch it back it just stalls, lags and freezes so bad that I cant edit anything.... Im no tech expert and was told this was a easy user friendly program so I bought it :( Sofar it has been everything but userfriendly....

The lagging and freezing is happening in the left hand window where you can play and preview your work. If I export it and produce a new mp4 it plays perfectly so its not an exporting problem just a previewing problem.

My PC runs like a dream and this is the only problem I have period. Its a relativly new PC only a few months old.

pc specs:

Windows 8.1

AMD A6-6400 APU with radion hd graphics 3.9ghz

16 gb ram

64bit op sys

Nvidia geforce GT 705

I used to use Pinnacle HD studio and it dod not have this problem.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

The MEP 2015 minimum specification for working with HD video, requires a 4 core processor.

The AMD A6-6400 is dual core and is underpowered for achieving smooth preview playback resulting in 'stalls, lags and freezes' .

You can try turning on Proxy file creation in the programs settings and reducing the preview window resolution - right click the lightning symbol bottom right of the preview window for the option - to see if you get any improvement.
